Neuralink high-volume production and automated surgery in 2026

“Neuralink will start high-volume production of brain-computer interface devices and move to a streamlined, almost entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026. Device threads will go through the dura, without the need to remove it. This is a big deal.”

The promise: “Neuralink will start high-volume production of brain-computer interface devices and move to a streamlined, almost entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026.

Status: Pending · 202 days left. Still waiting.

On New Year's Eve 2025 Musk laid out Neuralink's 2026 roadmap: mass production of brain-computer interface devices and a nearly fully automated implant surgery, with threads inserted through the dura rather than removing it. Neuralink had 21 trial participants enrolled as of January 2026, so a jump to 'high-volume production' within one year is a concrete, checkable scaling claim.
